As most of you know, I give away a stamp set by myStamp BOX every month and every month you, my readers, get a chance or two... or three... at winning a set of your choice!

So with June coming to an end rather quickly, I'm giving you the chance to earn a few more ballots into my June Blog Candy giveaway. Remember.... if you haven't left your details in the June Blog Candy comment section, none of your comments count towards ballots.

So to earn FIVE extra ballots for this month's draw, all you have to do is email me (sosketchy@live.com) the answers to the following questions:

A few weeks back, I purchased a new stamp set called Beary Special by Taylored Expressions. I just couldn't resist all the teddy bears on the stamp set and a BONUS.... by purchasing this special edition set, I donated $7 of the price to Toronto Sick Kids Hospital.

So over the past week or so I have been playing with set making all kinds of cards to put in my stash.

I also wanted to make a card for my best friend's anniversary coming up next week so I decided to combine the challenge with my card. Here's what I came up with using the "A Year in Flowers" stamp set....

Happy Anniversary

To colour my roses, I actually stamped my roses on white cardstock and then took my Copic Sketch markers and used my airbrush to colour them. I used RV42 (Salmon Pink) as a base colour and then R24 (Prawn), R46 (Strong Red), R59 (Cardinal) and even a little bit of Y17 (Golden Yellow) for a touch of yellowy orange.

Here's a close up of the tag and the popped up rose image.
